Bloggers and developers creating readable, SEO-friendly URLs from titles.

How to use it

  1. Enter a title

    Type or paste the title, heading, or phrase you want to convert.

  2. Set the style

    Choose hyphen or underscore separators and whether to force lowercase.

  3. Copy the slug

    The URL-safe slug updates instantly — copy it for your page, post, or file.

Why use this tool?

The slug is the readable part of a URL — the "my-first-post" in /blog/my-first-post. A clean slug is easier to read, share, and remember, and search engines treat a tidy keyword-based URL as a small ranking and click signal. Generating one by hand means lowercasing everything, stripping punctuation, transliterating accents, and swapping spaces for hyphens consistently — fiddly to get right every time, and a single stray character or space can break a link. This generator does all of that automatically. Type or paste a title and it returns a URL-safe slug instantly: lowercased (optionally), accents converted to plain letters (é → e), punctuation and symbols removed, and spaces replaced with your chosen separator. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and you can copy the result straight into your CMS, code, or file name. No account, no limits.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good slug?

Short, lowercase, keyword-relevant, hyphen-separated, and free of stop-word clutter — readable to a human and a search engine alike.

Does it handle accented characters?

Yes. Accents are transliterated (é becomes e) and other special characters are removed.

Hyphens or underscores for URLs?

Hyphens are recommended for web URLs — search engines treat them as word separators, whereas underscores are not. Use underscores mainly for code or file names.

Will it remove punctuation and symbols?

Yes — punctuation, symbols, and repeated separators are stripped to leave a clean slug.

Does it shorten long titles?

It converts whatever you give it; trim very long titles to the key words yourself for the tidiest URL.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The slug is generated in your browser; nothing leaves your device.

Can I change a slug after publishing?

You can, but set up a redirect from the old URL to avoid broken links and lost SEO.

Is it free?

Yes — generate unlimited slugs for free, with no sign-up.
